I won the startup lottery. This was called "RAD" in the 90s, OOP in the 80s and was the promise of "structured programming" in the 70s. The effort to deprofessionalize software development goes back decades. I care about the craft and the well-being of my fellow engineers. Requiring less knowledge is a mixed bag. Sometimes it's fine, such as compilers handling your C code, and other times it's a problem, such as Word handling your HTML code. It's best when some tooling sophistication is still exposed. > If this code doesn't help people out then people won't use it Incorrect! Human behavior and planning is aspirational and emotional, not rational. Choices are made based on narrative appeal and mistakes take years to unravel. Think of all the once hot frameworks that you'd be simply crazy not to love that are now unmitigated disasters to maintain and lead to mass abandonment and rewrites. People do this stuff, it's how they decide things. Not everybody, but enough to fuck things up for the rest of us.
